Nashville School of Law (NSL) celebrated the graduating class of 2022 on Saturday during its 114th Commencement Ceremony in Nashville. Eighty-two graduates were cheered on by more than 1,000 family members, friends and NSL faculty and staff during the event, which included addresses from Dean William C. Koch Jr. and Tennessee Supreme Court Justice Holly Kirby. Koch congratulated the class on their “tenacity, resilience, and agility” in overcoming challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Kirby spoke on the importance of democracy and how lawyers can bring people together. “People can talk to each other more civilly and more constructively about how to solve problems when they first come to a general agreement about the basic facts,” Kirby said. “That is what lawyers do, every day.” Read the full event recap here.
